In a picturesque spot overlooking Elliott Bay, with the green backdrop of the Cascade Mountains to the east and the Olympic Mountains to the west, Seattle is more of a confederation of neighbourhoods than a city (if you're not sure which one to opt for, check out our guide to Where to Stay in Seattle). You’ll find art, beer and coffee in abundance, along with an open-minded vibe and a terrific foodie culture. Accommodation options range from funky co-working spots for group trips to indulgent luxury hotels, fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets. Many of the best places to stay in Seattle are clustered within the downtown area — and we’re particular fans of those with waterfront views!
